Under the system of quotas proposed by the Cambridge MA City Council, the Chicago school system should employ 86 percent non white teachers. Who said race is not a factor in employment? Who said the government should not discriminate based on race?
[From article]
Chicago schools are 86 percent black and Hispanic, and low pupil performances strongly correlate with household incomes.
Teachers unions, however, have painted themselves into a corner by insisting that spending is the best predictor of educational performance — increase financial inputs and cognitive outputs will rise.
In the last 50 years, real per-pupil spending nationwide has tripled and the number of pupils per teacher has declined by a third, yet educational attainments have fallen.
